The
aphorism
'English
words
don't
end
in
u,'
is
frequently
invoked
by
spelling
teachers
as
an
aid
in
spelling
such
common
words
as,
blue,
clue,
cue,
due,
flue,
glue,
hue,
and
true.
拼写老师教授blue、clue、cue、flue、glue、hue和true等单词时频繁借助“英语单词不以u结尾”这句格言。
The
silent
final
e
also
rescues
the
following
words
from
the
onus
of
ending
in
u:
construe,
continue,
ensue,
imbue,
and
issue.
放在词尾不发音的e也可以使construe、continue、ensue、imbue和issue等单词免于以u结尾。

The
only
two
native
English
words
that
end
in
u
are
the
pronouns
thou
and
you,
but
they
probably
shouldn't
count
because
they
really
end
in
ou.
英语中只有人称代词thou和you两个本土英语单词以u结尾,但这两个词很可能不应该算作以u结尾,因为它们实际上是以ou结尾。
There
remain
50
or
so
'English'
words
that
do
end
in
u.
I
put
English
in
quotation
marks
because
most
of
these
u-words
obviously
came
undigested
from
some
other
language,
most
from
French.
The
following
words
ending
with
u
are
fairly
common.
